Semua Bab The Good Wife.: Bab 11 - Bab 20

Eve “I think my wife should take care of this event, it was her idea so no one will handle it better. What do you think, Evie?” Sinclair asked few minutes into the anniversary party discussion. The room became silent as all eyes turned to me for an answer, I smiled and assumed my most flattered face, “Thank you, Sinclair. I am honored and I promise to make it a blast, one that would keep the people talking” I answered. I wasn't expecting to be anchoring the event but since I was offered, I will gladly take it. It would allow me a solid excuse to be close to the board and investors so I can convince them to take my side. I had to thank my husband, for making things easier for me. “Brillant idea. Mrs. Stone has outdone herself in just a few days of joining the company. I believe the party preparation is in good hands” Richard chipped in for support and the other board nodded in approval as well. The meeting ended with the discussion of the anniversary party coming up and the pr

Eve I entered the house with a tired sigh. I have had the most busy day, with the court case, the anniversary and my secret plans. Luckily the court case was easily settled with one visit to the start up company, they were amateurs and was clearly relying on some terrible advise to think that Stone Capital was a pushover. I only had to make a few calls to find some good illegal dealings against them. A little threat and they were shivering and begging for mercy, the court case was immediately revoked and I strutted out of there with a smirk on my face. It was why I told Sinclair not to worry, that I would handle it on my own. I had my own ways and if Sinclair found out, he would be shocked out of his mind. As for Brando Blackwood, he was a done deal already. He was infact very impressed with my proposal and ‘fierceness’ that he said was “Very unexpected”. He has been a long time investor with my husband and has never seen me or heard of me in a broad sense. It was a striking fi

Eve “Ma’am, your guest has arrived” the waiter announced by the door. “Let her in and bring in the food” I instructed calmly. “Yes, ma'am” the waiter answered and walked away. A minute later, the door opened and my ‘guest’ walked in. It was Clara Evans, the cause of the scandal. I had invited her to lunch at a traditional Korean restaurant because I wanted to speak with her, the special private room provided the privacy I needed. I kept my face straight, bored even and I didn't even spare her a glance as she slowly sat on the ground across from me. She wasn't her hot-tempered self that appeared at my house the previous time, perhaps it was because she knew she had lost the battle. Her scandal had disappeared from everyone's mind and even if she were to spring up again, she won't gain more traction as the people seemed to be in love with the Mr and Mrs Stone chemistry. But then, I wasn't wicked. She had helped me get to where I was as quickly as possible because of her i

~SinclairI sat down on my office chair with a sigh. It was another day, which meant another day to work. I didn't mind it because this was where I worked best. I was proud of how far I and the company had come, it showed that my hard work was paying off. I was really happy and content with my present life. The company was growing well with no scandal or problems, and my marriage was peaceful; what more could I ask for?A knock suddenly came from the door, bringing me out of my thoughts. I told the person to come in, I could already guess it was Anastasia, my assistant. “Good morning, Mr Sinclair,” she greeted as she usually did.“Morning Ana, what do you have for me?” I asked with a nod of acknowledgement.She came closer and dropped some files on my table, “These are today's files that need to be looked into, I arranged them in the order of importance” I took the files and smiled at her, “Thank you, Ana, for always making my work easier. You may leave, I'll look into them” I rep

EveWe arrived at the office, and Sinclair immediately called for an emergency meeting. He wanted to tell everyone about Mr Khalif's deal and listen to their opinions.In a few minutes, everybody was seated and Sinclair explained everything to them briefly, about the collaboration and his concerns.“... the company is not all about me, your opinions are also needed. So if you think we should go ahead and sign the deal, then we will do so," he added at the end of his narration.I could see the board members' subtle glances at me, they were all on my side and knew what they needed to do.“I think this collaboration is fantastic, it's a long-term deal that will bring a breakthrough for the company”“I know about the Ahmed corporation back in the UAE since I was born there, it's a solid company, and seeing that they want to work with us is unbelievable”“This is to be wonderful, I'm excited that I got to experience this great collaboration during my time here” …Positive feedback like t
